Dudley's Chapel

Built in 1783 on land donated by Joshua Dudley, Dudley's Chapel grew out of a society organized in 1774. It was the first meetinghouse in Queen Anne's County, and one of the earliest surviving Methodist churches in the nation. Bishop Francis Asbury, Thomas Coke and Richard Whatcoat preached here. Though it is still not wired for electricity, it is still in use today.

Originally submitted by: Wayne T. Gilchrest, Representative (1st District).
